Terell "The Hybrid" Jones
At the struggling young age of 11, Terell was a kid off the streets, looking for
trouble and instead stumbled upon a life of discipline with The Arts. He started
training with Parra's TKD Federation in 1995. Fate led him to Master Cabaza
Ortiz in 2003, where he continued his training and achieved his Black Belt in
Dec. 04. Terell can be found at any one of TAE SHO DO's Dojo's acting as
assistant instructor. It was at TAE SHO DO that he got his first taste of Jujitsu,
which changed his entire view of the Martial Arts. Now, a 2nd Dan Black Belt, he
is known as one of TAE SHO DO's most dangerous, well rounded fighters.

Felix "DipKick" Rodriguez
It might sound like a cliche, but I always watched karate movies as a young boy. Then one
day I got to experience it "Up close and personal" at one of TAE SHO DO's examinations. It
was like nothing I had ever seen. Instantly I knew what I wanted...to take classes, and I
knew with who...Master Ortiz and TAE SHO DO!
So there I was, an unexperienced white belt and I had the honor of training with all the black
belts. I didn't know how THAT happened but I soaked up all the knowledge they offered!
That was a little over five years ago. I am now a home grown TSD Black Belt, lol. I started
training with the best and am now one of their best.
"WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, DON'T JUST OPEN THE DOOR, GRAB IT AND RUN!!!"

Ilsa "The Coach" Garcia-Ortiz
TAE SHO DO's first FEMALE Black Belt
As a child I loved the art but could not afford classes. As an adult, when my
path crossed Master Ortiz ' path again, I took advantage of his offer. Coming
out of an abusive relationship, I realized just how important the Art was. I
discovered I had a keen eye for techniques and found a specialty in forms. I
gained the nick-name Coach when I began helping my fellow warriors advance
in tournaments. Master Ortiz taught me what PLACE OF MY TRUTH meant.
Martial Arts became my truth and the Dojo my home. Train hard, dedicate
yourself, have honor in your heart and it will bleed through the body, respect
others but most of all respect yourself. Blood, sweat and tears leads to victory
within oneself. Afterall, the black belt represents your struggle, wear it proud!
"Everything happens for a reason so don't EVER limit yourself!"

Jesus "Bamm Bamm" Morales
As a child I can remember watching karate flicks in the movies with my
father and coming out trying to do those moves. As I grew up, the thrill
of Martial Arts did not go away I still wanted to learn. In 2003 I met
Master Bruce Lee Cabaza Ortiz and from he became not only my
instructor but a mentor and friend. In 2007 I became a black belt and look
foward to achieving bigger goals. I will teach anyone who wants to learn and
make sure my two daughters follow in my footsteps.

Placido "WildStyle" Contreras
I can always remember watching karate and Kung Fu movies and trying to mimic
the moves I had just seen. Thinking back, I realize that I have always had love,
respect and a passion for the Art. A few years ago, fate had me cross paths with
an incredible man, Master Bruce Lee Cabaza Ortiz. I began training with him and
learning the system he created, TAE SHO DO, which is and eclectic system of
Shotokan, TaeKwonDo and Jujitsu. That December evening changed my life and
made me a part of a family of true warriors. I am what some might call "addicted"
to my TAE SHO DO system!
"Stay focused on your Path and you shall overcome anything! 0US!!!!!"

Eliezer "Wolf" Sabino
I met Master Cabaza Ortiz in Morris H. S. I was only fourteen when he took me under
his wing and turned me to an entirely different person. I've known Master for nine years
and he's become like a father to me. Everything I know is because Master passed it on
to me and my dojo brothers and sisters. He made us all Elite Warriors. I became a Black
Belt April 10th, 2008. It's been a long journey but we strive for perfection of character. I
am an Elite Warrior and I have a new mission to accomplish. That mission is to become
a Master and face the impossible. It's my time to shine and nothing is going to get in my
way of being the best at TAE SHO DO. OUS!
"Get out of my way or I'll go throw you". "You're not stoping my destiny to be
the best of the best HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
